A Day at the Swamp

I haven't been posting lately because I have been swamped down here. :biggrin: After a very busy period I found myself woefully behind on my post processing. I have imposed a shooting hiatus on myself until I can get caught up. I have just finished my October shots and only have Nov. and Dec. to go now (around 3500 shots). Anyhow here's a series of a GBH from my Oct. shots.

Great series Harry. I particularly like the second image where he is just about to thrust into the catch. Great shot! I also love the colours with the green vegetation on the water. GBH's fish by site, so how does he see his prey through that water surface?

Interesting to see Vierra with that much water in it. The one week I was there last spring, I don't recall it being anywhere near as full?

I used a perspective that increased the feeling of a larger quantity of water than is actually there. If I had shot at an angle to make it a more accurate representation the pic would have a lot less impact.

Thanks Tim. The GBH on a couple of occasions must have spotted some movement because it stuck its face very close to the water a couple of times before it finally struck.

Glad to see the master back in action! So what glass are you considering now? Man, you work fast. I remember Linda's reaction at lunch last week when you dropped the D200 hint at her! :wink: She sure must love you!! :smile:

Thank you Gale, Kevin & Frank. Right now I'm considering keeping my D100 and D2h instead of going for the D200. I would sell my 80-400, 24-120 and my 18-35. I would then buy the 17-35 2.8, the 28-70 2.8, and the 300 F4. In addition to the new lenses I would still have my 50mm 1.8, the 60mm 2.8, the Sigma 70-200 2.8, and the 500 F/4.

In the end with the sale of the lenses it would cost just about as much as buying the D200 and significantly upgrade my glass. Or I just may go for the D200.
